THE ESSENCE OF THE VALUE OF LIFE CONQUERS THE WITTY CAMPUS

A day that seemed to be perfectly normal turned out to be a life changing event in just a matter of an hour, all thanks to Mr. Lucky Gupta who changed our perspective of life with a theatric performance that touched our souls and filled our hearts with tears to the brim and taught us to value and respect this gift of life. He taught us to smile and live the moment to the fullest keeping in mind the less fortunate people. After being blessed by such an eye opener, it is now time for us to take a step forward and truly live our lives and always spread the light of happiness. It is not only academics that is important in our life today, we feel it is important to pursue a passion and theatre is one of its own kind.
